Kim_Dude: Modifying the Shimano cassette cogs to use on coaster brake hubs is too simple. The inner diameter is almost the same, the cassette cog has 9 splines. It is as simple as grinding two thirds or them away and re-profiling the remaining three.

Two turns? The drivers are designed for about 1/2 turn only.

The bike is setup with 66 X 28 gearing, really not to big, around 52 inches or so. It is setup to look more bad ... than it rides.

Spot on mate, and heat the rod and dip it into the flux.

You want powdered flux to sprinkle on as needed.

No need to remove old brass but remember it is all about cleanliness. You can burn some impurities out with lots of flux.

Similar to others I use a seat post cut to take a stem wedge and bolt. On top of the bolt I weld an eye bolt. Sure I still have them somewhere.

Here is the same chainring as made with matching crank arm:

Round bar? What diameter? The weight would be enormous and the welding problematic. How about some thick wall mild steel or chromoly tubing?

Adam rocks! It is worth checking out his work.

The price goes up every time she airs up the tires.

I am thinking about making the same ring but in Inch Pitch. It is a customer order so and we always cut spares.

The wheels are HED Carbon MTB from the 90's built on my own hubs from the same time. The front chainring is my own (see the CO in the ring). The ring was built for a motor pace replica bike. The rear cogs are my little secret. Shimano cassette road cogs can be easily modified into coaster brake...

I just updated my bike from a 56 tooth ring to a 66 tooth ring. Go big or go home!

Shown in the picture is a 1/2 X 3/16 chain. These were common on high end 1/2 pitch bikes.

Your math is flawed. An inch pitch chain/cog is not 1/2 inch pitch with every other tooth missing. It is a combination of .375" and .625" pitch chain links. The tooth profile is .625 inch. There is no chance of running a 1/2 inch pitch chain on an inch pitch cog regardless of width.

Does anybody on board make bicycle brake rotors/disc? I am looking for a disc that matches the aesthetics of my high flange hubs. I either need them made, or to buy blanks, or to buy the correct material so I can machine them myself.

My wife's road bike spends more time in the house than any other bike. Hard for her to grip about any other bikes.

Still the best trouble free and cheapest source I know of for 14g stainless spokes is Wheel Fanatyk: http://www.wheelfanatyk.bigcartel.com/p ... gth-spokes Twenty cents each custom cut in any length. These are top quality Wheelsmith spokes. I don't even bother checking my own stock anymore, I...
